Flower Power Papercrafts

I just got this book and omg is the most beautiful book i ever got, I even took it to bed with me lol. Beautiful projects and plenty of instructions its appropiate for all skill levels im so glad i picked it, and you will be too.

First of all, I will admit that I am a book collector. Having said that, I went into the local craft store looking for a book with inspiration for cardmaking and papercrafting in general. I picked up this book and was pleasantly surprised to find the content to be much different than the "usual" stuff I find in this genre of publication. Julie Hickey has used most of the current "toys" available (Cricut, Sizzix or Cuttlebug, Quickutz, etc.) but also incorporates rubber stamping, embossing (both dry and heat types), stickers, coloring in various ways and just about anything else you might imagine. Her designs are fabulous for inspiration, but if you wanted to follow step-by-step, she's made it possible with clearly written instructions, complete with high quality photographs to show you the way. Many of Julie's designs are not "snip" and "stick;" rather they require some construction. I love this type of project (i.e. the more complicated the better), but she also offers some that are simpler to produce. Of the many, many, many books I own, I place this at the top of the 5 star pile. Teri
